Welcome ToInternational Martial Arts Association

An organisation of individuals whose goal is to further the art of Tang Soo Do while preserving the unique heritage and traditions of this time honored art. Members of the IMA work toward the proliferation of the art throughout the world.

Founded by Grandmaster Ki Yun Yi in New Jersey, USA, in 1984, the snow spans four continents. Although the IMA is a dynamic and growing organisation, there is a unity and brotherhood throughout the member schools.

Each year the association grows stronger not only in members that train in our current schools but with new schools joining the IMA because of its reputation and goals. The association is not looking to be the largest Tang Soo Do group but one that is respected for its students tradition, attitude, spreading of this Korean Martial Art and support of each gyms community. Grand Master Yi's desire is that each school give back to each community they are in as much as they receive in support. For the true martial art thought is ; "We are thecommunity and so it is part of your code to share the skills and support that area to build and grow together.
